Segment 1 Comments

Boring activities continued at three sites:
Stream Crossing #4 (EMP 9.03), the California Aqueduct (EMP
12.22), and Grapevine/I-5 (EMP 14.62). There was no progress
at the slick bore at EMP 1.18. Trenching along Highway 166
(EMP 0.00 to 0.80) continues to collapse and require
re-digging because of mud and unstable trench walls. Work
began at the "Warbler Skip" (EMP 21.73) -- area
that was skipped earlier in year because of nesting Yellow
Warblers, a California endangered bird. Excavation at Cuddy
Creek Tributary (EMP 25.45) began.
